Reba McEntire Album

Well I could swear
This king size bed
Keeps getting wider
And I could swear
A stranger's laying by my side
And I can swear a long dark valley lies between us
And there ain't no way to cross the great divide

Chorus:
The great divide
Ain't in Colorado
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
The great divide
Oh that river's sorrow
We can't rebuild
The bridge we burned
Between our hearts

And Lord knows we both tried hard
At crossing rivers
But pride runs as deep
As it is wide
And the love that once could conquer any mountain
Has reached the edge of the great divide

Repeat Chorus

The great divide
Ain't in Colorado

My little boy was a wise man this year
His christmas play was something I couldn't miss
Between the shopping and my job, I barely got there
My faith was worn from stress and strain
Until those little

[chorus]
Angels sang (hallelujah)
To the King (people rejoice)
He brought peace and joy to all the world
When He came
And the angels sang (hallelujah)
And they sang (people rejoice)

And as I watched those innocent children
I felt the greatness of that holy night
And for a moment, I was right there with those wise men
So overwhelmed with love and light, I had to cry when the

[chorus 2x]

You can tell everyone love is over and done you can pack all your things and go
You can lie to yourself and say that there's nothing left
But there's something that I like you to know
It's never really over even though you say we're through
You may be holding me but can't you see it's not over if I'm not over you
[ fiddle ]
There's not much I can do if it's over for you
I'll just wish you the best when you leave
But you played such a part in my life and in my heart you'll always be part of me
It's never really over...
You may be holding me but can't you see it's not over if I'm not over you

Well I don't need a caddy to make me happy
Or a flat up on park avenue
I don't need riches or treasures
All those high priced pleasures darling
All I need is you

Chorus:
I know I don't need nothing you ain't got
If you were coffee in the morning
Well I'd drink that whole pot
Cause you got everything all them others do not
Darling I don't need nothing you ain't got

Now Lord knows you ain't a saint
Robert Redford you ain't
But you got a heart of gold through and through
And when it comes to loving
All that kissing and hugging
Ain't nobody else ever gonna do

Repeat Chorus

Well now who thought I'd be satisfied
With just one guy by my side
Oh Lordy, Lordy look at me
But hon you're different from the rest
I'm here to confess
That love from you is all I'm ever gonna need

Repeat Verse #1

Repeat Chorus

You know it seems like I've loved you forever
Who could be closer than you and I?
People even say were so much alike
But they don't know why

(chorus)
I've been lovin you so long
That I know every move you make
Every breath you take
What I feel is so strong
Sometimes I don't know where I end and where you begin
You make me so happy feelin like this
There's so much ahead that I don't wanna miss
Oh I wanna keep it so good so, so, so long

So fine, so real, so right
Oh I wanna keep it so good so, so, so long

Oh darlin don't think for a minute
Time could ever steal the thrill away
You still got the power to be my man
And you know you can

(chorus)

So good, so fine, so real, and so right
Oh I wanna keep it so good, so, so, so long
So good
So fine
So real
So right
So, so, so long
So, so, so long

You take the records, I'll take the stereo.
You get the tv, and I'll take the radio.
I'll keep the dishes, and you the pots and pans.
You'll need a new car more than me, so I'll take the second hand.
We'll each keep our own friends, divide the rest in two.
The older kids seem to understand,
still there's one thing left to do. It's over in the corner,
our little one sits and cries. And behind that swell of tears
she's asking with her eyes.

What you gonna do about me,
What you gonna do about me.
Is it daddy on the weekend, mama rest of the week.
Will I have to make new friends, live on a
different street.
Who's gonna be the one who tucks me into sleep.
Oh what you gonna do, what you gonna do about me.

I gave her a hug, she pushed me away.
I said in time you'll understand,
and maybe we both will someday.
I wiped her tears, and said "It won't be so bad.",
she said "Will you still be my mommy, will he still be my dad?"

What you gonna do about me, What you
gonna do about me. Is it daddy on the weekend,
mama rest of the week.
Will I have to make new friends, live on a different street.
Who's gonna be the one who tucks me into sleep.
Oh what you gonna do, what you gonna do
about me. How can I tell her when I dont' know for sure.....
why her mom and dad don't love each other anymore.

Touch me and I feel your fire
Kiss me and the flame rolls higher
Show me all the love you know
Hold me never let me go

I never thought I'd be
Wrapped in the words
Of your sweet, sweet love
But here you are with me
This is what dreams are made of

Chorus:
I can see forever in your eyes
I can see a love that never dies
When you lay me down I realize
I can see forever in your eyes

Take me in your arms tonight
Love me with all your might
Give me all my heart can hold
Hold me never let me go

Love was mystery
Until you touched me with sweet, sweet love
Now it's so clear to me
This is what love is made of

Repeat Chorus x2

I didn't see the fire burn to ashes
Couldn't feel the winds of change
I was lost inside the passion
Blinded by the memory of a flame

Guess I should've felt it when you touched me
I should've seen it in your eyes
Well I believed you really loved me,
Why can't I believe you said goodbye?

Oh why, is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
And why, is the one left behind,
The one left to love, with no one to hold,
The last one to know

It would be easier to face the morning
If you were holding me tonight
You left me with out a warning
Holding on to a heartache
While she's holding you tight

Tell me why, is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the last to let go
And why, is the one left behind,
The one left with love, with no one to hold
The last one to know

You found me down
Hurting bad from his memory
And I thought love and I were really through

But you reached out
And touched my heart so tenderly
You gave me life
Gave me hope
Made me blue

Chorus:
Touch by touch
You're taking the hurt away
Smile by smile
A little more everyday
Heart to heart
You're helping me find a way
To what I once dreamed of
Kiss by kiss
You're making love sweet again
Step by Step
Back on my feet again
Thanks to you
Feeling complete again
Yes you filled me up
Love by love

We're lying here
Loving the feeling morning brings
His memory's fading more with every dawn
Cause like the sun
Your love's so warm and gentle thing
Drives my tears
Lights my way
Leaves me up

Repeat Chorus x2

We've got a nice little house on a quiet little street
But it don't matter
A two car garage with a new Cherokee
But it don't matter

Chorus:
Cause we don't ever seem to talk anymore
And you don't hold me like you did before
We've got everything we wanted and more
But now I know and now I see
Nothing matters if you don't love me

We've given twelve precious years of our lives
But it don't matter
And I guess for awhile we were both satisfied
But it don't matter

It wouldn't be easy to walk out tonight
But it don't matter
And I know I would miss you if you said goodbye
But it don't matter
